The RTP are facing hard times according to their chief being billions of baht in debt, you can be assured all revenue streams are/will be looked at with a fine chopstick.

Meanwhile large groups gather all over the country to apply for the Rao Chana government subsidy  at Krung Thai bank branches and nothing is done.

Double standards everywhere.

I am sure a hotel bar would be far better policed in terms of social distancing.

Thank you for the information as I was unaware of the move.

My next 90 day is just before Songkran but as I live near the Yasothon/Roi Et border it is abit of a hike.

Any further update on the opening will be greatly appreciated.

I usually find my car battery starts to fade after 3 years, noticeable by the start up not being as instant as normal.

I diary 3 years ahead from the date of purchase and then buy a new one.

When I have submitted one previously the doctor just asked me if I was feeling alright, I said fit as a butchers dog, parted with 90 baht, no problem.

The NACC and CC in Thailand are toothless committee's that only show fealty to the the current incumbents.

How does Somchai know that? 

Exactly, complete pie in the sky figures yet again.

Unless of course they are following them around and checking their receipts ...

The irony of the generals club discussing democracy which they have both crushed is just exactly what you would expect from 2 corrupt Muppets.

Thailand has been its worse trade barrier.

I suggest:

Value of baht consistantly too high for exports (but apparently great for the SET).

Unable to negotiate new GSP terms with the USA when it expired - insist previous terms remain or nothing and got nothing (default to less advantaged WTO terms?).

Difficulty abiding with FTA's and resorting to illegal retributions (ie., cigarettes from The Philippines) and/or Thai courts to bypass compliance with FTA binding arbitration.

Refuse to recognize its WTO/ASEAN trade violations.

Insufficient global trade expertise to be competitive (too reliant on domestic Thai price controls, government subsidies, state-owned enterprise monopolies & Thai corporate/government "cooperation")

 

 

 

That's what happens when you have generals running the country, or should I say, trying too.

More jaw, jaw and no action as they will have to arrest their mates who in turn will blow the gaff on them.

And so the corrupt circle keeps on turning.

So much for Thai conservative family values we hear about then.

It's all disgusting <deleted> with fancy boys running around slapping women and pointing Glocks at people.

Sewer mentality TV.

What a laugh, my mate can't even sell one for 10M let alone 18.

Hoping to do 3 trips this year to help the lovely ladies out.

Had a Click, to light at the front, then an Airblade, I liked it, then a PCX, was OK, but to me the tyres were to thin and did not absorb road "shock", my back didn't like it, we also at the same time had a Yamaha Grand Filano, that was OK.

Sold those and bought the new Yamaha Grand Filano Hybrid ABS, lovely bike, very quiet, comfortable (nice fat tyres), big seat, LED lights, no ignition key (high tech), big under seat storage, fuel filler not under the seat, quick. Nice Scooter...

 

 

 

I have a grand Filano and a Freego and they are both very good machines, especially the storage the length of the seat as the fuel filler is up front.

The longest journey they do is to the local town, 13kms away so absolutely no need for anything bigger.

Last year I showed the PDF receipt I get from TransferWise X 12 along with my bank letter and bank book.

(If it was required I could show the monthly bank transfer to TW from my UK account)

Last week I saw the smallest Saba fishs in my life for sale in a well known shopping center and told my wife this species will be death soon about overfishing. And for sure some months not fishing will not change it. 

And in my local store it's price has risen by 10 baht for a 200g fish.

I very rarely eat in hotels as I prefer to choose a eaterie of my choice depending on what I fancy.

I don't know of any hotel that has no prices listed on the menu.

Normal business franked class airmail from the UK.

It's not only the air you don't won't to breath in Krung Thep, I also believe the water is not palatable either.

Cloudy and overcast this morning in Pattaya...I'm ready for "Winter" to be over; it's been a particularly bitter one this year, with temps regularly dipping down to the 18°-22° range. I'm ready for my sunny 33° days again.

Up here in Isaan we are back to the 30 plus C daytime temperature's but still slipping below 20 at night.

Sounds like a scam to me.
